theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer Honey-Hued Luminizer, Highlighter, Shadow & Shimmer, Subtle Glow

I got all three "Manizer Sisters." I'm a "makeup enthusiast" but not a makeup artist. The breakdown: Mary Lou is a gold champagne. Very reflective and the most reflective of the group. Highly Pigmented, blends well. Very beautiful. From seeing it online, I think it would look best on very fair-medium-tan skin tones and might start to look ashy on darker skin tones. You can control the intensity by blending out less product on the cheeks (makes it sheerer) or using it wet (intense). Cindy Lou is a slightly dusty pinky peach. Less reflective and more of a satin sheen finish, the least reflective of the group. Blends well, very pretty, but also less pigmented than the rest, but still usable. More subtle. For light-medium skin tones in my opinion, but you may want to look up swatches on others yourself. Betty Lou is a warm bronze with golden undertones. Very pigmented and blends well. The second most reflective in the group, but when I blended it out as a bronzer on my light skintone, it didn't look muddy and was very beautiful if you like warm bronzers. It also didn't look like a highlighter as much when blended out well, which means it can work as both. This would be a great bronzer for light-tan skin tones, depending on how deep you are and how well you blend it out if you're lighter. It would also be a great highlighter for tan-deep skin tones. I have pictures of swatches with and without flash, and blended on my face over a light layer of foundation. On my face, Mary Lou is nearest my ear, Cindy Lou is in the middle, and Betty Lou is nearest my cheek. The colors don't show up the best, but the swatches should help clear things up.

The Mary Loumanizer highlight is great, I love this stuff. I got it at the end of 2014 and it's still going strong, I think it might last forever. It is pretty shimmery, but still a highlight as opposed to a glitter or shimmer eyeshadow. It's definitely a noticeable highlight, it adds a nice glow if you use the right amount. I use it just about every time I do my makeup, during the summer especially. It's good for cheekbones, inner corner, nose, lids, cupids bow, etc. The color is a kind of champagne, more of a white yellow that looks good on light to medium skin. It's nice to have as an eyeshadow as well, I have semi hooded eyes (I still have a tiny bit of lid showing) and putting this on the lid part helps to brighten everything up! I think it's totally worth it and if I ever run out I'd definitely buy more.

It is good, but was I bit small on my opinion, but my sister loved it very much

This is a beautiful luminizer. It did not break out or irritate my acne-prone sensitive light-medium Asian skin. It is a very fine powder that gives a pretty glow without the use of sparkles. I dust this on the bridge of my nose up to the center of my forehead just between the eyebrows, above my blush on my cheeks, and on my chin and cupids bow. You DO have to be careful to not apply too much and to really dust it in such that it "melts" with your skin, otherwise it will "sit" on top of your face and look obvious. Only one downside for me, being a clutz, the powder is very fine and I did drop the compact once, which left it cracked down the middle. So now I have to be very careful when I open it otherwise chunks of the powder will fall out. Overall, I highly recommend this luminizer. I have done lots of research, and this came highly recommended. My experience has been nothing short of that.

This highlighter was just as I expected. I've heard a lot of good reviews about this, and I was in need of a nice, gold-toned highlighter, so I went ahead and ordered this. The packaging is beautiful, the box that it comes in matches the cover on the top. As seen, it has a matte silver compact, which in my opinion, is a good thickness so you know that you're getting a good amount of product, with a mirror that's useful for when you're applying the highlighter. I have light-to-tan skin, so I loved the color. If you are a darker shade, however, I would look into the other theBalm highlighters, like Cindy Lou or Betty Lou, because this is a highlighter you'd have to blend out because it is pretty light. What I love about the highlighter is that it is nicely pigmented. This is what I mean when I say this product will make you GLOW. I love this a lot, and the retail price is about $24, and the fact that it's a bit cheaper on Amazon is awesome. I got this for $19.99, and right now it's $15.99, which makes me a little bit sadder that I could have saved $4, but $16 or $20, this is definitely worth the price. I love the packaging, it's very sturdy, and this is now my go-to highlighter for everyday, and my old go-to highlighter was the ABH Glow Kit, so I hope that says a lot!

This is a must have for anyone who likes makeup

I again hopped on the bandwagon with another product. I guess the fact that it was sold out for a while and going for quite a bit more on ebay made me feel like I had to have it when it was back in stock. Its a great highlighter and the color is very pretty , I can see why everyone raves about it. the formula can be a bit powdery and it does have the slightest bits of glittery particles. Its not super creamy, fine milled powder like the Becca highlighters for example. Standalone, this is a great product but I will not be repurchasing it since the elf baked highlighter in moonlight pearls gives you the exact same color with what, in my opinion, is a better formula and better color payoff for.

Este iluminador me encanta, es muy delicado y sus destellos son preciosos

Pas de grosses paillettes, le fini reste discret afin de pouvoir en mettre au quotidien si on a envie. J'aime beaucoup cette couleur champagne !

I love this stuff. Its all shimmery and nice Very pretty. I originally got a sample in my Ipsy bag, and really liked it right off the bat. Finished the Ipsy sample (which actually lasted a long time considering I wore it every day) so was super happy to be able to find it on here at a reasonable price.

Bewertung meiner Freundin: Zunächst möchte ich anmerken, dass ich der Meinung bin, dass das ein Originalprodukt ist. Einige Bewertungen behaupten, es sei nicht das Original, weil die Mengenangabe nicht mit dem in Deutschland verkauften Produkt übereinstimmt. Ich habe mich sehr viel informiert vor dem Kauf und habe mein Produkt auch nach Erhalt verglichen. Ja die Angabe stimmt nicht mit dem in Deutschland (z.B. bei Müller) verkaufen Produkt überein, ABER es stimmt sehr wohl mit den Angaben auf der Seite von the balm überein. Das Produkt auf der the balm Internetseite hat exakt dasselbe Design und, Überraschung, auch dieselbe Mengenangabe wie auf dem gelieferten Produkt. Und ich glaube nicht, dass the balm auf seiner Seite Fotos von Fakeprodukten verwendet, sondern das werden Fotos von the balm selbst sein. Es gibt wohl einfach verschiedene Ausführungen auf dem Markt. Ich habe den Highlighter für nur 12€ im Angebot bekommen und mich riesig darüber gefreut, weil ich ihn im Müller getestet habe, über 21€ mir aber bei weitem zu viel war. Der Highlighter hat eine sehr schöne Farbe und sehr starke Leuchtkraft. Für Leute, die einen schwachen Highlighter wollen, ist das gar nichts. Wer einen guten Highlighter sucht, ist hier an der richtigen Adresse. Er sieht auch auf meiner Hautfarbe (quasi Hautfarbe Wand) extrem schön und gar nicht zu dunkel aus, wie man vielleicht vermuten möchte. Die Farbe finde ich sehr schwer zu beschreiben, es ist irgendwie Gold, aber auch Champagner und gleichzeitig was anderes. Am besten geht ihr mal in den Müller oder Douglas, wenn ihr ihn ausprobieren wollt. Der Highlighter hält auch sehr lange auf der Haut und sieht auch abends noch schön aus. Ich kann ihn jedem empfehlen. Schlagt zu, wenn er mal wieder günstig ist oder ihr kein Problem habt, 20€ auszugeben.

Je le rachète depuis des années. Pour moi c’est le meilleur. Tenue irréprochable, belle pigmentation, superbe highlighter qui convient à toutes les carnations même très claires. Ce que j’aime particulièrement, c’est le fait que la poudre soit très fine, et ainsi ne marque pas les pores ni ne rajoute d’épaisseur sur le make-up contrairement à d’autres. Le glow est naturel mais bien présent! Je le mets chaque jour, il me dure quasiment 1 année. Une valeur sure.
